DL.ART 1 YEAR BLOGAVERSARY

This card is to celebrate the FIRST birthday of friends of ours. While we only have boys - I LOVE making girly cards - and this one is fitting for sweet Lila. I am sure she has the cutest shoes for any little one year old girl. She is a special girl - and I wanted to make her a special card.

When making this card, I used:

Paisley Cricut Cartridge - for the boots
Formal Occassions Cricut Cartridge - for the frame behind the boots
Locker Talk Cricut Cartridge - for the "1st" lettering
DCWV papers
various ribbon from Michael's Arts and Crafts
Crop-o-dile corner Chomper
Recollections extra fine glitter in Citron

In LOVE!

It's so much fun to create cards for friends. Paul and I did the premarital counseling for this couple - Matt and Megan. (Well, the card is for Matt and Megan) I thought this card was cute and reminded me of the cake topper from my own wedding - also used in my parents wedding and my grandparents wedding.

I used Peachy Keen Stamps for the faces - love that their are a variety of expressions on the "Everyday Character Face Assortment"
Paper Doll Dress Up Cricut Cartridge
DCWV "Everyday" papers

Less formal wedding card

This is for some friends who just got married in a sweet ceremony in their living room. Congratulations Don and Michelle! We were so happy to be there to celebrate with you!!

I love a challenge...and I LOVE making cards!!

Mother's Day weekend was a full one - speaking at a couple of events, church, taking my Mom and family to the beach - but if I could get a FREE day, I'd love to make cards and scrapbook. The beach was wonderful....we laughed and played - even my mom! It was a GREAT day and I am so thankful for my dear husband, and our adorable teenage boys.

One of the blogs I follow, My Pink Stamper - at www.mypinkstamper.com hosted a special challenge day with 12 crafting challenges. The Day was for National Scrapbooking Day. There were challenges every hour, along with video tutorials and ideas. I am so thankful - even though I missed the posting by about 10 minutes.

It forced me to just get into a project. I didn't have time to sit down but for a couple of hours. I was able to complete the cards you see below.... thanks Robyn for the challenges - I now know I don't have to sit and stew over an idea - but just get the ball rolling!
